48 Hours Left! (And I'm sweating)
Let's jump right to it friends - there are 48 hours left in this campaign and we are 87% of the way to our final stretch goal of unlocking the Motivational Turtle:
HOW YOU CAN...
Quick update to let you know that the pins have arrived safely and they look great!
As a first time creator- both in digital art and enamel pins- seeing my own digital images come to life in physical form has been super cool. So thanks again for supporting me in this campaign!
I am waiting on stickers right now and expect to ship out packages by the end of the month. Till then, here's a sneak peek for each of them:
The Beaver
The Sloth
The Turtle
The Turkey (freebie collab pin)
I hope you are excited to have these in your hands soon and love them as much as I do!
As a reminder, a few days before I begin shipping out packages you will have a final chance to update your mailing address.
So no stress if you've moved, just hang tight.
Any questions, let me know! Courtney
p.s. Last update I announced that I was participating in the upcoming Booktopia. But sometimes our "do the damn thing" is really "bit off more than we could chew" and I decided to pause that plan. I am still planning to write my book this year, but giving myself a lot more spaciousness to do it. So stay tuned for that a bit later on down the road. :)
We've reached the next stage my friends: production is complete and the pins are currently flying through the sky on their way to me.
I can't wait to see the final result in person but here's a sneak peek from the process as the molds were starting to be filled:
Our Hustler Baby sloths awaiting color!
I anticipate receiving the pins in the next week or so, and the stickers soon after that as well. I will then work to begin fulfillment after that, still on track to have your rewards to you by the end of August.
I so appreciate all of the support on my first crowdfunding project and hope you are excited to have these in your hands soon.
And in the mean time... an announcement!
In total 'what surprise project will Courtney do next' fashion, I decided to take the theme of my pins to the next level... and write a book!
When I heard BackerKit was launching "Booktopia", I knew it was the kick in the butt to finally organize my years of writing and content creation into something more long-lasting, value-filled, and fun.
[If you're new to my world, I've been a Make Shit Happen coach for 8 years! You can see more about me on my website here.]
Think hilarious storytelling, life lessons, tips & tricks for overcoming fear and overwhelm, actionable steps for achieving goals, and more. Probably a few favorite memes sprinkled in too. Whatever will help you stop talking about it and instead go Do the Damn Thing. 🔥
Booktopia (including this project) launches on Sept. 5th, and it's coming up FAST.
So, if this book project sounds like it could be up your alley, or you just want to follow along to see what wild stuff I come up with, please sign up here!!
I will be updating that teaser page with more info soon, and I can't wait to share more about what will be included as I prep for the launch.
Thanks in advance for all the support!!
Courtney
p.s. I haven't settled on the book name just yet but it's a good placeholder for now :) Let me know what you think in the Poll!
Thank you so much to everyone who has filled out their survey so far! We are at a 72% completion rate which is much appreciated.
And almost half of you have added on some fun stickers or pins which is very extra appreciated! (Personally I cannot wait for the trash panda sticker).
For the 20 of you who haven't filled your survey out yet, here is your loving reminder. Without doing so, I won't have your shipping info, and you will not be able to receive your rewards.
So please fill out your survey asap- I'm shooting for full completion by June 3rd!
For those new to crowdfunding, the survey is where you will:
Select which design(s) you want for your pins and stickers
Add on any extra goodies that you didn't pledge for during the campaign (optional!)
Enter your shipping info
Enter your card details
As a reminder, shipping was not included in your original pledge.
For most of you, your card was charged the day the project ended (Apr. 18th) for your pledge and/or add-ons. You will now owe shipping only (+ any extra add-ons selected in the survey).
For those whose cards did not originally go through on Apr. 18th, you will owe now for everything.
Next Steps: Once surveys are complete, I will lock down orders (i.e. no more changes) and charge cards for shipping, hopefully by June 10th. Then once the pins and stickers arrive later this summer, I will give folks a final chance to edit their address before fulfillment begins in late August.
Any questions, let me know! Thanks again for supporting the journey to bring these little animals to life.

p.s. Have any friends that missed the campaign? The Pre-Order store is now open! Have them visit here to place an order: https://motivation-with-animals.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Note that if you pledged during the original campaign you should NOT use the pre-order store, use your survey only :)
